Current Developments in Biotechnology and Bioengineering: Environmental and Health Impact of Hospital Wastewater narrates the origin (history) of pharmaceuticals discoveries, hospital wastewater and its environmental and health impacts. It covers microbiology of hospital wastewater (pathogens, multi-drug resistance development, microbial evolution and impacts on humans, animals, fish), advanced treatment options (including biological, physical and chemical methods), and highlights aspects required during hospital wastewater treatment processes. This book provides an amalgamation of all recent scientific information on hospital wastewater which is not available in the current literature.
- Introduces physical, chemical and molecular testing methods for the analysis and characterization of hospital wastewater
- Discusses the environmental impact and health hazards of hospital wastewater
- Describes the microbiological aspects of the hospital wastewater, like microbial community, metagenomics, pathogens, VBNC and mechanism of antibiotic resistance development
- Explains hospital wastewater and its role in microbial evolution
- Highlights future treatment options, guidelines and drug disposal tactics

About the Author
Balasubramanian Sellamuthu is currently working as a "principal investigator in life science domain at the company “Security and Protection international (SPI), Ottawa, Canada. At SPI, Dr. Sellamuthu developing “fiber optic and screen printed electrodes based biosensors for detection of illicit drugs, toxins, and pathogens present in diverse environment and water. Additionally, Dr. Sellamuthu is working as a research agent at "Centre de recherche du Centre Hospitalier de l’Universite de Montreal (CRCHUM)," Montreal, Canada Dr. Sellamuthu has 17 years of research experience in Microbiology, molecular biology and green biotechnology at both academic and industries (BioTEPP, HET, and MDDEP) in Canada. He has one patent, published 24 papers, 14 papers in conferences proceedings, 18 book chapters and 6 industrial/scientific reports.
Dr. Bhagyashree Tiwari received her Ph.D. in water sciences from Institut national de la recherche Scientifique (INRS), Université du Québec, Canada in 2020. Her research work focuses on the development as well as optimization of various water and wastewater treatment techniques, production of value-added products, such as, biopolymers from waste, identification, and characterization of microscopic organisms and on molecular biology approach for emerging contaminant removal. Previously, Dr. Tiwari was a MITACS-ELEVATE Postdoctoral Fellow at INRS, Université du Québec, Canada. She has published several peer-reviewed journal papers, over 15 book chapters, edited 1 book and has presented in many national and international conferences. She is also the recipient of several awards, prominent among them are the Philip Jones award from Canadian Association on Water Quality in 33rd Eastern Canadian Symposium on Water Quality Research, best oral research presentation award in 7th International forum on Industrial Bioprocess in Wuxi, China. She received the prestigious mobility grant from Venice International University, Italy.
Dr Yan Song research focuses on: the production of bioplastics, biodiesel, value added products using wastewater and sludge (biosolids), greenhouse gas emissions from wastewater and sludge treatment processes; and wastewater and sludge treatment process control. Dr. Yan has published 76 papers in refereed journals and presented 60 papers in national and international conferences. She is author of 2 books, 40 book chapters, and many scientific reports. Dr. Yan was part of the team which received the Superior Achievement Award for Excellence in Environmental Engineering and Science in 2010 and 2015 from American Academy of Environmental Engineers and Scientists (AAEES) for University Research work. She was selected as an Outstanding Reviewer of the ASCE’s Journal of Environmental Engineering in 2012, and is the member of Canadian Association for Water Quality (CAWQ) and International Water Association (IWA).
Patrick Drogui is professor and researcher at the Institut national de la recherche scientifique’s Centre Eau Terre Environnement. He is an internationally recognized expert in electrochemical and membrane technologies, and oxidative processes for different applications in water treatment from industrial wastewater to potable water. The originality of his research work lies in the development of advanced electrolytic processes for water and wastewater treatment requiring no or minimum addition of chemical products. Co-inventor on 8 patents, Dr. Drogui is currently working on new electrolytic and/or membrane, photo-catalytic, and electro-photo-catalytic processes for water treatment, and the removal of phosphate and emerging contaminants. Prof. Drogui is the author of more than 260 papers published in scientific refereed journals. He is an author of 16 book chapters and 54 industrial and scientific reports. Prof. Patrick Drogui received 4 fellowships and 2 awards for the best research project from Pollutec and for the best paper published in Water Environment Federation, delivered 17 invited conferences and 119 communications and conferences. Prof. Patrick Drogui is a director of CREATE-Program in Environmental Decontamination Technologies and Integrated Water and Wastewater Management (TEDGIEER). Collaborative Research and Training Experience Program (CREATE) from National Science Engineering Research Council (NSERC) of Canada.
